Alexandria, Egypt's second-biggest city, has two ports: the shallow eastern port, which isn't utilized for shipping, and the eastern port, which is situated between the peninsula. Around 55% of Egypt's foreign trade is handled by the Port of Alexandria, which is the largest port in the area and is overseen by the Alexandria Port Authority.
Alexandria is the second-largest city in Egypt
Approximately 60% of Egypt's international trade is handled by the seaport in Alexandria, which is the most trafficked port in the Arab Republic of Egypt. The principal port and second-most significant city in the Arab Republic of Egypt is Alexandria. Over three-quarters of the nation's international trade is with it. Alexandria has two ports (the eastern port) between the peninsula, and the shallow eastern port is not used for navigation.
Alexandria has two harbours, one located to the east and the other to the west, known as the eastern harbour and the western harbour, separated by a T-shaped peninsula. The eastern harbour is shallow and not used for navigation, while the western harbour effectively constitutes what has been termed the Port of Alexandria and is bounded by the imaginary line between the ends of the two outer breakwaters.
Alexandria is one of the oldest harbours in the world, dating back to the time of the Pharaohs, who established a harbour west of Pharaoh's Island. In 331 BC, Alexander the Great built the port of Alexandria.
Pharos Island was connected to the shore by a bridge about 1200 metres long and 200 metres wide, thus forming two basins, one of them in the northeast. The south-western harbor was used for commerce, while the eastern harbor served military objectives. In the early nineteenth century, during Muhammad Ali's reign, work on it started in its current configuration.
The Port of Alexandria has gone through several stages of development, starting with Republican Decree No. 2110 of 1963 establishing the Egyptian General Establishment for the Port of Alexandria. Then Republican Decree No. 3293 of 1966 on the powers and responsibilities of the General Authority of the Port of Alexandria.
Dekheila Port was created by Presidential Decree No. 494 of 1986 as a logical expansion of the Port of Alexandria. The Port of Alexandria also enjoys a large industrial backbone and a number of specialised berths that make it one of the most important Egyptian ports.
The port employs more than 156 companies specialised in maritime works, container handling, ship financing, ship maintenance and construction, maritime agencies, stevedoring, and other maritime works, employing up to 50,000 workers and employees.
